Established in 1965.

In 1993, former Major League Baseball pitcher Frank LaCorte (who was born and raised in Gilroy) purchased the towing business from Harry and has since built the company into the première towing and recovery business it is today.

As a reliever, Frank pitched in the 1980 National League Championship Series for the Astros. He played for the Astros until the 1983 season and finished his career in 1984 with the California Angels.
